The Vernon and District Animal Care Society is receiving a boost from Baron Insurance Broker Group.
Throughout last summer’s Civic Sounds events held at Vernon’s downtown Avenue Market, Baron raised $1,562 from popcorn sales, all of which is being donated to one of its favourite local charities.
The society is comprised of a small group of volunteers servicing the North Okanagan Regional District, in addition to Falkland. Its primary focus is to provide financial assistance to low-income families or individuals to spay/neuter their pets.
The society’s commitment is to reduce the root cause of pet overpopulation, abandonment, suffering and premature death of thousands of unwanted pets.
“The generous donation from Baron Insurance is hugely appreciated as it helps us continue the work we are passionate about,” said Reid Harvey, society president.
“One hundred per cent of the money donated will stay within our district to help local animals.”
Said Ruth Hoyte, of Baron Insurance: “The North Okanagan has supported Baron Insurance for many years and we are so fortunate to continue to work and live here. We are committed to our clients, but we are also deeply committed to our community.
“Supporting local organizations such as VDACS is our way of giving back and showing our appreciation.”
